10 Summer Festival Essentials!

The weather is warm, and we have just entered the height of festival season. Whether you’re a festival aficionado and plan to traverse the country chasing the music or a festival newbie hitting your first festival or two this summer, you still need to be prepared. That’s why we’ve created this list of festival essentials (with handy places to purchase them, too) for both camping and non-camping festivals that’s sure to keep you dancing all summer long! We’ll be hitting both Elements Lakewood Festival from 5/25 through 5/27 and Disc Jam from 6/7 through 6/10, so this list is for us, too!

Music festivals are incredible, but also incredibly loud, and you want to be able to enjoy them for the rest of your life. Make sure to protect your ears with these high-fidelity and price-friendly earplugs.

Camping Festivals

If you’re looking to really stand out at your next festival, show up with one of these crazy domes (you can even just rent one!), set up some decks, and be the talk of the festival as you throw down while the sun comes up!

If you don’t want to be running your car for hours at a time (or killing your car battery and potentially stranding yourself), bring a handy solar charger and harness the power of the sun, which is (almost) always abundant at festivals.

While these may not be much help in the desert, if you find yourself in the woods for your next camping festival make sure to carry a hammock so you can get in those power naps before your favorite sets.
